Flat, pull thru lots with full hookups. Would stay there again. The little restaurant was a welcome perk after traveling all day. Buffalo burgers were delicious! Clean shower houses.

Very nice! Right in Badlands Park. Lots of mosquitoes . They have a dog wash station we used. It’s really a very nice park!

It was very HOT (102) and lots of Flys and mosquitoes so it was difficult to sit or walk around the campground. Had to use bottle water to drink as the tap water tastes bad. Staff was excellent and the site was very nice.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review. We have very hard water in this area of South Dakota, so it does taste a bit different.

We stayed four nights. The location is great for visiting the Badlands. We liked the trees for shade, large off-leash pet area, and the KooKhouse and Pavillion. The staff was super nice, and the park was very clean. The biggest issue was the mosquitoes and biting flies. The staff did "fog" for bugs the morning we left which really worked. To a lesser degree, the water had an unpleasant taste.

Great location and lots of things to do. Super clean bathrooms. However the pool was super dirty, lots of hair and bandaids. Also the mosquitos and flies will get you and they will be ruthless. No amount of spray or citronella will be able to stop them.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We apologize that you encountered an untidy pool area, we have addressed the issue. The mosquitoes are more difficult to control, however we do fog and spray on a daily basis.

Great location. Nice staff. KOA store has the essentials. They do have flies as others have stated- so we didn’t sit outside. Nice locations to see badlands.

Very nice campground with clean facilities. The on-site “cook shack” provided tasty and convenient meals when we did not want to cook. Best of all were the staff. They were extremely friendly and helpful, even tried to figure out a solution for an issue with my van’s electrical connection. And they let us switch campsites to a shady site. Wonderful hosts!

Great location and staff, the only downsides were the excessive heat and mosquitoes but hey it’s August. The fellow who guided us to our site was great. He came back much later in the day to warn us of potential bad weather. He was very thoughtful and i have to give him top marks for thoughtfulness and great customer service.

Nice location and campsite . Pool was a welcome break from the heat . Lots of room and nice air conditioning in the washrooms . Too bad some parents were not watching their kids . Jumping and diving into pool with families around and inappropriate language . This does not reflect on my ratings of the location . Thanks might see you again

Owners were SO friendly and helpful!! Bath/shower room is the cleanest and safest feeling campground we’ve ever stayed at. They even had an escort to our site that carried our firewood. Will definitely recommend and return!!

We only stayed one night, but loved the location. The tent spaces were very generous. It should be noted that you DO NEED to pay or have a park pass in order to get to the campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review, there are two alternate routes to and from the campground that do not go through the National Park.

Masses of mosquitos. Showers closed for cleaning at 6:00 am. Would not stop at this KOA again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Coming off a five year drought has been hard for the entire state to overcome. We try to get the bathhouses clean for early risers, sorry you were inconvenienced.

The staff was wonderful and really helpful. I loved the fact that you deliver the firewood to the camp site and pick up the trash daily. The grounds were wonderful, cabin was adequate, pool was great, the Kookhouse was great. The access to the river was a bit challenging. It would be great if there was a path or 2 to the river. Our BIG issue was the mosquitos!! I know it's nature.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate all your comments on what we can control. Coming off a 5 year drought finds the entire state with a mosquito issue. We do our best with fogging and spraying.

Staff was very friendly. Vary accommodating. Clean. Great visit.

There have been thousands of mosquitoes and we were hardly able to stay outside the tent. After one night we had to break up the camp.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I believe you will find the mosquitoes to be horrible all over South Dakota, this year. We appreciate your visit with us and hope you will return when we have not come off of a 5 year drought which has brought the mosquitoes out in full force.

The grounds were well kept up, bathrooms, showers, and laundry area were nice and clean. It was nice having a store at the office as well.

Flies. Everywhere. Cook dinner and you will have 20 flies on your kitchen table immediately - July 23

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We appreciate you comments on the flies, we have been fogging and spraying for flies and mosquitoes. We are loosing the battle with them because of all the rain in the area this spring and summer, as I am sure you noticed the standing water along the road before you even get to the KOA.
Aug 20, 2023
Although the campground itself was nice, with plenty of space to spread out, the mosquitos were the worst I have ever encountered in my camping experience. The information sheet indicates the campground sprays, but if this is accurate, I would hate to see what it was like without this. in 2 nights, my son received almost 40 bites, and I more than a dozen, despite spraying ourselves profusely.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We are trying out best with the fogging to get ahead of the mosquitoes, but with all of the rain this summer and spring, we are fighting a loosing battle.

We loved this KOA for a stay at the Badlands. Close to the NPS. KOA was clean and peaceful. We stayed in a yurt and it was cozy and clean. Restrooms were well kept also. Staff was friendly. Would stay again.

Very pretty park and conveniently located close to the Badlands national Park. The reason I am giving them a four star is because when I checked in the two ladies at the desk seemed like I was interrupting something. They did not tell me anything about the Campground. They only handed me my goodie bag and my site number and told me that they would escort me to my site. Usually when I check into KOA, they are so ready to inform me all about their facilities. The ground crew men were absolutely so sweet and kind and are the ones that told us about the facilities were.
